An electrical connector with upper contacts, for a flexible flat cable. The connector is an electrical connector for gripping a flexible flat cable by upper contacts, and the connector includes two kinds of contact members for gripping the flexible flat cable, a housing for receiving the contact members, and an opening/closing type actuator. The contacts of the two kinds of the contact members are spaced from each other in an insertion direction, and the contact members are alternately arranged in the housing so as to form staggered rows of the contacts. With a first kind of contact members, FPC can be inserted without insertion force, and with a second kind of contact members, the FPC can be inserted with low insertion force. The connector is characterized in that is has a zero insertion force (Z.I.F.) and low insertion force (L.I.F.) mechanism structure for insertion of the FPC, where the structure is constructed from the first contact members and second contact members.
